Use your Action Skills and guns to quickly take it out.

It will spawn an egg when it dies and, from this, both Bobby Crawky and Kira Crawly will emerge. Both of these monsters are Level 9.

You should focus on Bobby Crawly first as he attacks with Shock Damage. This includes creating pools of Shock Damage on the ground.

Shoot him while he's in the air to knock him back down to earth, where you can easily use your Action Skills.

Once these two Varkids are dead, another egg will spawn.

From this final egg, the Level 10 Matty Crawly will appear.

Matty attacks with Incendiary Damage; shooting out three spikes of fire from his belly. Once again, use a combination of your weapons and Action Skill to bring this Legendary Hunt to an end.

Throughout this battle you'll be attacked by the other Varkid in the valley. It's a good idea to kill some of these Varkid before the battle begins, but, if you're level is high enough, you should be able to destroy the Crawly family, while these other monsters attack you.

For murdering the Crawly family, you'll receive a collection of loot from their dead bodies, as well as:

When the Skrakk begins to move closer switch to either an SMG or Assault Rifle to deal some rapid fire damage.

Don't forget to use your Action Skills either when it gets closer.
